Divorce...Is it the Answer?

Marriage is one of the two sacred institutions given to man at creation. It was designed to bring love, joy and harmony into the lives of those so joined. It is very sad that in today's world, marriages are falling apart left, right and center. Persons no longer regard marriage as a bond that should never be broken and so it has become all too easy to put an end to marriages which seem difficult and burdensome.

The big question that is asked is: How much is too much? When should a spouse decide that enough is enough? Some suggest that when a wife burns the egg and appears to lack what it takes to make her a good cook, that is just too much for any well thinking male to deal with and a divorce is in perfect order. Others suggest that if a man is churlish enough to raise his voice while in a dispute with his wife, that would be surely too much for her to deal with. Again, a divorce would be the perfect answer.

It is no surprise then, that marriages are taking a downward spiral. Counselling in many cases is of no avail as couples are no longer interested in trying to work out their differences. The Bible is clear on the basis for divorce. According to Jesus, the bill of divorcement should only be given in cases of fornication, and interestingly this results only because of the hardness of one's heart.

Divorce....Is it the answer? I think not.

So... what is the answer?

See my next post, 'Save your marriage'. It will be published soon.

Love you all.

Enjoy It

Life can get so busy that we miss out on the very joy of living. I guess the economic melt down has a melting effect on our ability to remember that this world was created for our enjoyment. We try to cut down on expenditure as much as possible, hence, family times out become very few. Our view of life becomes narrow as we try to focus on what we love to refer to as the essentials of life.

Well! Yesterday my husband and I decided to break that mold. We decided that despite our limited resources we were going to deviate from the norm of our humdrum existence and go on a little trip with our friends, Jimmy and Melba. We had quite a day. In fact, just being out together in nature seemed to have a rejuvenating effect on both our marriages. It was truly fun driving to places of scenic interest. The cares of life seemed distant as we spent time recapturing our first love.

At the end of the day, we were very happy that we did not stay home just for the sake of cutting costs. We believe that it was definitely worth the expense. Love, romance and excitement do have a place in one's family life. If you are thinking of scaling down on expenses that's okay but once in a while... recapture love's adventure. You'll find out that it's worth it.

Remember... take time to smell the roses. It will be worth it.

Oooh I'm back

Hi friends,

I've been out of commission for some time. LIFE! I guess it finally took its toll on me. Nevertheless I'm back. It feels sooooooo good to be actually posting once more. I tell you... this world is like a roller coaster ride. Today you are up and tomorrow you are right down in the valley. Then before you know it you are right up there again. Whew!!! Lucky for us this world is really not our home. Yes! we are just passing through.

There's a cool, gentle wind blowing here in St. Ann, Jamaica and I'm feeling truly blessed. I love cool days. Sometimes I try to imagine Adam and Eve there in the Garden of Eden when there were no extremes of temperature. It must have been simply wonderful. I yearn for that day when Eden shall be restored in all its perfection. No extremes in temperature, no extremes in human behavior... Instead all will be perfect bliss.

Today, I am confident that I am simply too blessed to be stressed. Oh! What a beautiful day! I pray that all who read my post today will be rejuvenated, recharged and capture the essence of The Perfect God who inhabits eternity. Remember, there is no hurt too great that God cannot heal it, no sorrow so deep that God cannot soothe it. Have a blessed day. Embrace the hope that God has given you. Love!!!
